Christian was a great tour guide. Very informative and had a relaxed pace about seeing many different place. I feel like I had the opportunity to see many great places on the island and learning along the way. Just the right mix of both. Great places to stop and amazing views! Highly recommended!

Very kind and informed guide.

Rui was fantastic and full of lots interesting facts about the island whilst being quite funny! He is proper passionate about his island, we loved him! The spots you visits are all unique in their own way and really picturesque. The times allowed in each place are just about to see the area in enough detail without over doing it. The small group is nice too as you can get to know some off people on the tour. Definitely would recommend.

Excellent tour, guide/driver was very good. Downside the minibus was a bit cramped with narrow aisle.

When in Madeira you really need to take two tours - one covering the west and north of the island and one covering the east. This small group minibus tour was ideal and gave adequate time in the main places and a knowledgeable driver/guide. Good value for money

We had a very busy day on this tour. I feel like we really did see the best of the West. Since we didn’t hire a car, this was an amazing way to see lots of great sites, from beautiful coastal views to forests and mountains. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable too. Overall, this tour was great value for money and an amazing way to see lots of sites in a short time. The only negative was that we felt that there could have been a few less stops and more time in other stops...
